Of the two billion-plus exits I've been (peripherally) a part of, the most recent one was Clojure, and the one 10 years ago was Python. I've also seen several Clojure projects and one Scala project fail. With very rare exception, your tools will neither doom you nor ensure success.

It all comes down to execution, in the end.

hmmm. Does "two, billion-plus exits" or "two billion-plus-exits" work better?

This holds true as long as you're not buidling your startup on something truly outlandish like brainfuck or piet

That's a lot of exits :)

I'd argue that those are toys, not tools.
